Description
Overview of the medicine
The ALPK2-V500 is a manual blood pressure monitor kit designed for accurate and reliable blood pressure measurement. It includes a sphygmomanometer (aneroid manometer and cuff) and a stethoscope, allowing for auscultatory method readings.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Use as needed to measure blood pressure, typically once or twice daily or as advised by a healthcare professional.
Elderly
Same as adults, ensure proper cuff placement and technique.
Renal_impairment
Same as adults, no specific dosage adjustment as it's a device.
How to Take
The device is for external use. Place the cuff firmly around the upper arm, position the stethoscope over the brachial artery, inflate the cuff to approximately 20-30 mmHg above the estimated systolic pressure, then slowly deflate while listening for Korotkoff sounds.
Mechanism of Action
The device operates on the auscultatory method. A cuff is inflated around the arm, compressing the brachial artery. As the cuff is slowly deflated, a stethoscope is used to listen for Korotkoff sounds. The systolic pressure is recorded when the first clear sound is heard, and the diastolic pressure is recorded when the sounds disappear.
